New Honda Ridgeline

Obviously this is just a concept built for SEMA, but Honda says it takes it's styling cues from the 2017 Ridgeline. Let's hope so.... Unibody or not, I think it looks great.

 

still a honda... I didnt know they had Civic Shortcourse trucks

 

Not a concept, it is a 6100 truck (Spec trophy truck) to be raced in the baja 1000, designed by Craig Hall

Also the first Honda factory backed offroad team.

At least it looks like a truck this time. I've had great luck with Hondas, but I have no plans to get rid of my Taco.

 

I can't "see" the truck though all those stickers and Mods

 

Yeah, is there a pic of one that will look like an actual production model?

 

The ridgelines are a front wheel drive pickup or whatever you'd call it right? That fwd would lead me to never buy one. I might b old school but that's not right! I like gonna cars though. They save you some money!

 

Yes, so its well made and reliable.

OP reported for wrong sub-forum.

 

that's cute:

 

I would like to see whats under the hood/ body to see how much of a Ridgeline this truck actually is. I bet it's as much of a Ridgeline as a Nascar stock car is a Toyota Camry

 

I heard that is going to be the exact production model. Dave gave me the down low on it specs and all, I just can't share them.

 

Let's hope they give a 4wheel equivilant amount of support dollars and years of support. THAT would be "cute"

 

It's a 4wd actually. I'm not a fan of it but I am curious as to why, again? Hondata raced one in Baja ten years ago

 

Correction, it WAS Honda with Hondata as their tuner.

I will understand it's 4wd but when not in 4wd 2wd mode is front wheel. So I've heard. Could be wrong.

 

Had an '07 Ridgeline. Have a '12 Tacoma. Need I say more?

 

I will say, ive only owned ad raced honda dirtbikes and will never change

 

Bring it on Honda BUT make it stingy on fuel.....mpg's of the larger trucks but towing of a small truck led to me trading my Ridgeline..

I was spoiled and owned the Taco at the same time ......Same dependability of Toyota and they will last as long.

 

I had a Ridgeline as a loaner car for a week. It had 140,000 miles on it, was beat to shit, but ran and drove like it was brand new. Though, it did guzzle fuel like a full size truck.

 

The Honda is a great truck for people who don't need a "truck." Lots if usable space, comfortable, smooth, good options. When I used to work for Honda I would take one whenever given the choice. I'd say it's more like an suv with a bed
